Why?
Maramon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A tragic society, with no believe.
There's no hope, no way to be free
With no remorse, you've been deceived.
I see them walking hand in hand
Their mind so narrow, no place to expand.
I keep asking myself, why and why?
What is the reason, we still try?
"Why are you standing, standing, standing here alone...?
When I'm leaving you and everything behind!"
In blindness, you are walking the way
The long way, that leads you astray.
The same mistake is made by us all,
In this society, the weak will fall.
So is there a meaning, in what we do
You had the chance, didn't you?
I keep asking myself, why and why?
What is the reason, we still try?
"Why are you standing, standing, standing here alone...?
When I'm leaving you and everything behind!"
The song "Why?" by Maramon talks about the tragic state of society and the hopelessness that pervades it. The singer has witnessed something that others have not, a society devoid of belief and hope. The people in this society are narrow-minded and do not have room for growth or expansion. The singer questions why they keep trying when there seems to be no reason or hope for change.
The chorus of the song highlights the frustration and desperation of the singer's perspective. The lyrics "Why are you standing here alone...? When I'm leaving you and everything behind!" indicate a desire to escape the hopelessness and bleakness of the situation. It's clear that the singer believes that change requires leaving behind the old mindset and way of life.
The song also touches on the idea of repeated mistakes and the vulnerability of the weak in this society. Despite having the opportunity to make a change, people still make mistakes, and those who are not strong enough to stand up for themselves are left to fall behind.
Overall, "Why?" evokes a feeling of despair and helplessness, but also hints at the possibility for change and growth.
